An Unforgettable Stay at Sports Illustrated Resort Punta Cana!** I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sports Illustrated Resort in Punta Cana, and I can confidently say it was one of the best resort experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, the vibe was energetic, welcoming, and unmistakably unique. The resort blends luxury with a sporty, active atmosphere in the most refreshing way. The room was modern, spacious, and impeccably clean, with a stunning view of the Marina and palm-lined grounds. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I appreciated the little details—like premium toiletries, fast Wi-Fi, and a smart TV perfect for winding down after a beach day. What really stood out to me was the energy of the resort. Whether you’re into beach volleyball, poolside games, or just lounging with a drink in hand, there's always something happening. The staff made the experience even better—super friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in making sure every guest was having a great time. Jhoan was especially great he made the check in process very smooth and always had a bright smile on his face! Lewis too! The on-site restaurants offered a great variety of flavors—from local favorites to international dishes—and everything I tried was fresh and delicious. The breakfast buffet in particular was a daily highlight! If you're looking for a place that combines laid-back luxury with a sporty, upbeat environment, the Sports Illustrated Resort Punta Cana

Had an excellent time during my stay, definitely recommend it. Staff very friendly and helpful. Johan was very attentive and always asking what else he can do to make our stay more enjoyable. Facilities were first class.

The property was nice, clean and quiet. I gave it 4 stars because it’s a little older. The food was mediocre at best.

The hotel is good, but they need to improve the pool service. The room was very clean with an excellent view of the marina. Erick provided excellent service, very attentive. Alvi, too, provided excellent service.

This place was an absolute joke, TERRIBLE customer service besides ONE employee, Alvi. Employees speak next to zero English, the lobby bar area was disgusting and stunk like they’ve never changed their mops or mop water. The golf cart rental for $50/day was a rip off too, we literally broke down on 3 different golf carts and had to find our own way back to the resort each time. The Pool was clean and nice, but the bar drinks were very lack luster and you just drank whatever they gave you because they didn’t understand English when you ordered. The cups and straws were all paper and don’t hold up in the sun/heat/water. For being an all-inclusive place, it’s an absolute joke and rip off, and I am not one to complain. Our one room villa was good though, and nice layout. I definitely do NOT recommend this place one bit…. Thankfully there was Marina restaurants down the street for us to walk to and eat and drink at, that were high end and clean. I’d say this was our worst ever hotel experience and we are platinum members and we travel about 75-100 days a year.

I love the design of the property. It gives you the Spanish feel!! Beautiful peaceful place. From the time I checked in I was greeted by Lewis and was upgraded to the most beautiful roof top villa. The private pool was a great touch! Alvi was the sweetest and made sure to book my spa appointment with Time Out spa, which is right on property! The Spa was awesome because Alissa made it relaxing and enjoyable! (might have her name wrong). I felt safe and everything was there for me right on property including a boat ride/snorkeling & swimming in the ocean. What I loved the most was how they keep to their culture on this resort- from food and style- Dominican night was phenomenal with great Dominican cuisines! Every night the food was delicious! The waiter, Yoscal and a few other young men gave amazing service and their attention to detail and service was 5 star! My only complaint would be I wish they didn’t have dogs on the property, some of the barking was annoying but the good news is the property is kept so clean. I will definitely return here and would recommend this place, specially to those looking to relax

Signage not good hard to find your way around and map isn’t very good

One of the only things I didnt like was there was no direct access to a beach without relying on transport. I would have liked to take a walk to the beach and walk back to resort. Other than that, the staff was incredible. Very helpful and friendly. My room was incredibly with an impeccable view of the marina. Room was constantly cleaned and always smelled amazing. My bartenders were great, so also my servers at The Bullpen. Would definitely visit again. It was my first time in DR, and I know what to expect for next time.

Lo pasé muy bn, excelente servicio y calidez humana… de seguro vuelvo muy pronto

The room are dated and the drink selection needs an upgrade. The food wasn't to good

Excellent stay! Had a blast

This location offers a tranquil yet enjoyable experience, suitable for both a relaxing getaway and a family vacation. It is also an excellent choice for fishing enthusiasts.

The property was nice. It was clean all the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Lewis the Butler was very understanding and communicative about our stay. The employees there accommodated us with everything that we needed. The view from our hotel was very nice every day the maid cleaned our room and restocked their fridge. I don’t have any complaints about staying here. Since this hotel is a part of the marina. There is a gated community that doesn’t allow anybody in unless they have a purpose or they’re staying there. I felt safe walking around at night. I would love to come here again and enjoy the time with my family. The beach is about 10 minutes away, and they do provide transport every hour if you don’t have a car. There are many food choices here as well. There’s a couple restaurants around the hotel that you can eat at and they do provide you with food they give you two choices every night to eat. Overall, our stay was fantastic and I would recommend anybody to stay here if they want something quiet and family oriented.

I like all of it especially the stuff around the pool , excellent people and at the bar by the pool, the staff service were amazing, Maria the Bar tender, mini baby ( joel ) belen and very especial human being staff scoby dooo very especial person those guys made my wife and I vacation super , very super special, and the rest of the staff.

The resort is quiet, not crowded. Alvi, the concierge was very helpful and attentive. The young lady that worked at the pool side yard was friendly and attentive to the all the customers. The young man 3:30pm Bingo games was funny and interactive. The food was ok. The breakfast was the same throughout our stay. Housekeeping would come at odd hours often times we were back from an excursion when the housekeeper would come to clean. We cancel the room cleaning several times as we were tired from being out in the sun all day and just wanted to relax. The internet was awful. We lost phone and internet connection for an entire day until the techs came to fix the problem but they too came after 6:00pm. There was no beach on site but they did provide a shuttle van that would take the customers to Juanillo beach. We went to Scape Park and that was really fun. Lastly, we were grateful for the late check out. I would rate this resort 8.

Everyone was nice and polite. Property was very clean. We felt they could use more chairs at bar by the pool. Beach could use more chairs and the service there needs more help.

The suite was fabulous !
